If you’re not sure which one to order, ask your server for their recommendations. They will give you the inside scoop on which brews delight their guests the most.

Insider Tips:
– The restaurant is not wheelchair or stroller accessible since it’s up a flight of stairs and there is no elevator.
– When buying a meal, you can upgrade your fries to onion rings but expect to pay an extra charge.
– Weekends are often quite busy, leaving you waiting for a table and again waiting for your food to arrive. If you have the extra time, it’s still worth a visit since their food is so good.
